Pikes produces wines from Clare Valley, a region in South Australia's Mount Lofty Ranges known for cool-climate viticulture. The winery focuses on Riesling, the signature variety of Clare Valley, and Shiraz. First Cut Riesling and The Merle Riesling represent the winery's work with the region's flagship white grape, while Reserve Shiraz demonstrates its approach to the darker-skinned varieties that thrive in the area's continental conditions. These wines have been assessed by major critics including Wine Spectator, Wine Enthusiast, Wine Advocate, Falstaff, and Decanter.
